IP teams face growing pressure to do more with less: manage complex portfolios, ensure accuracy and move faster than competitors. The answer lies not in generic software but in digital tools designed for the wants and trajectory of the IP industry.
Dennemeyer has announced a collaboration with Mistral AI and NTT DATA to develop a new generation of IP software. This initiative will create a GDPR-compliant, sovereign-cloud-ready platform to meet the evolving needs of legal practitioners.
The partnership brings together Dennemeyer's IP expertise, Mistral AI's high-performance open-weight language models and NTT DATA's enterprise AI infrastructure and platform. The three organizations aim to deliver a secure, adaptable system that enhances usability, search and integration while maintaining complete data protection. Just as importantly, the approach reflects growing priorities around sustainability and digital autonomy, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected while reducing reliance on third-party solutions.
This goal of overcoming data fragmentation and security threats while expanding industry intelligence is fast becoming a top motivation for innovative organizations, meaning IP professionals require accurate insights across vast multilingual datasets. Unspecialized tools often fall short of this need. AI deployed in controlled or private environments, particularly cloud infrastructures that are jurisdictionally governed, offers a way forward, delivering speed, precision and accountability without adding risk.
"With this partnership, we are showing how AI can be applied in a way that truly respects the realities of IP work. Our goal is not to experiment for the sake of novelty but to deliver tools that improve everyday decision-making and give professionals the confidence that their data remains under their control," said Laurent Brochmann, Chief Digital Officer at Dennemeyer.
"Trusting our duo, Dennemeyer, has chosen us, Mistral AI and NTT DATA, to provide the technical foundation supporting their digital evolution," said Olivier Posty, SVP France Luxembourg, NTT DATA. "We are proud to co-build the next generation of IP services with Dennemeyer. By integrating our customizable, secure AI models with their deep domain expertise, we will empower legal teams to work faster and smarter—with absolute confidence in their data's protection," Marjorie Janiewicz, Chief Revenue Officer and Mistral AI US GM.
Long-term, the vision is a sovereign-cloud IP management platform that integrates intelligent processes across services and data. From portfolio management to search and reporting, the system will be engineered for scalability and compliance with shifting regulations. Following on from these advantages will be stronger risk management and clearer asset visibility for business leaders, helping them align IP with broader strategic goals.
With a global presence and decades of experience managing IP portfolios, Dennemeyer is uniquely positioned to lead innovation at scale. This initiative reflects the company's long-standing commitment to combining local expertise with international reach, ensuring that organizations worldwide benefit from the same high standards of service and technology.
For clients and partners, this marks a pivotal step toward a superior digital IP ecosystem that blends emerging technologies with the needs of legal professionals. Dennemeyer will continue to share updates as the work progresses, but the direction is clear: a more secure IP future.
